Li Qiao told them that in the face of various natural disasters, prevention measures are often more important than post-disaster management, so after getting the topic, the two of them finally focused on prevention after some hard thinking.

On weekdays, in addition to reinforcing the embankment, it is also necessary to remove the sediment from the Yellow River at the root.

Where does the sediment in the Yellow River come from?

It can't just come out of nowhere.

It is true that the two of them do not know the provinces through which the Yellow River passes, but it doesn't matter, it can be summarized upstream.

There is a lot of sediment in the Yellow River, and I think there is little vegetation in the upper reaches, so the two of them wrote this point.

Like Zhuang Wen, because they don't know much about the Yellow River, they don't write as much as Li Qiao.

However, if they can think of this, it should be half a step more than other candidates, right?

However, Meng Yue is still a little worried, the set of questions that Li Qiao summed up The candidates of this session know that what if other people also think of this point?

His knowledge is not as good as Li Qiao, Xu Ying, and Zhuang Wenguang, and he has read fewer books, and his article this time is not as good as that written by Li Qiao and Xu Yingzhuang, and there are several basic knowledge points related to the Yellow River written by Li Qiao and Xu Yingzhuang, and he does not know several places.

Therefore, if other candidates also write about afforestation, then he will not have an advantage.

Worry is worry, but I have already passed the exam, and it is useless to think more at this time.

It's rare to come to the capital once, and you have to go to the capital for a walk.

So, after Li Qiao entertained the candidates who came to visit, they spent several days visiting the capital.

The capital is more prosperous than the capital city of Hexi Province, and the variety of goods is rich, Li Qiao Taozhu and the two are the same as last time, if they see what they like, then buy it, and they also picked a lot of gifts for the Li family.

Soon it will be the day of the release of the list.

The process of releasing the list is the same as that of the children's exam, the officers first beat the gongs and drums to set up the atmosphere, and then post the yellow list.

Only 40 people were admitted to the township examination, but there were more than 7,000 candidates, and this kind of admission rate is really cruel.

Li Qiao felt that her article was mediocre, but later knew that Zhuang Wen, Meng Yue, and Xu Ying had written about afforestation, so she was even more bottomless in her heart.

The candidates of this session know the set of experience he summed up, and when entertaining those candidates who came to visit him, some candidates said that they wrote about afforestation, so if there is a god of learning this year, then Xie Yuan will not fall on him.

Yes, he couldn't be calm, he and Zhuang Wen, Mengyue, and Xu Ying squeezed together with everyone to the place where the yellow list was posted.

Meng Yuechang was burly, and he was not afraid of being looked down upon, he opened the way in front, and the four of them quickly squeezed into the front row.

Several officers were painting the walls of the Tribute Courtyard.

Although the number of admission places is small, the font is large, and the yellow list is three meters long, so the paste must be brushed well, and the yellow list must be pasted firmly, but the yellow list cannot be dropped.

When the paste was finished, the two officers picked up the yellow list from the tray.

The test papers that were pressed under the tray were exposed to everyone's eyes.

"Is this Li Qiao's scroll?" Someone exclaimed.

Not to mention that since the establishment of Dasheng, even after the emergence of the imperial examination, I have not seen any township examination with the test papers pressed under the yellow list.

Lord Zhao, is this following the local customs?

"It must be, throughout the ages, only Li Qiao's roll has been pressed under the yellow list!"

Li Qiao: "......"

He stared at the test paper on the tray, in a trance.

So, he got the solution this time?

But will his article be convincing to the public?

Don't be a public execution......

Just when Li Qiao was worried, Zhuang Wen Mengyue and Xu Ying beside him had already congratulated him, and he hurriedly said: "Look at the list, look at the list." This list hasn't been posted yet. ”

If you don't see his name appear in the first column with your own eyes, then this Xie Yuan will not be counted.

The errand officer who posted the list did not sell the guanzi, and several people first unfolded the yellow list, and then stood on the chair and pasted it on the paste.

With their movements, a sharp-eyed candidate saw his name, he screamed in his mouth, hugged the person next to him and cried and laughed: "Hit, I'm hit!" ”

As soon as he roared like this, the hearts of the other candidates all rose to their throats, and they stared at the yellow list with good eyes.

More and more names are being revealed.

The candidates who passed the test danced happily and expressed their happiness by howling, crying, laughing, etc.

Candidates who didn't see their names mentioned it even more in their hearts.

Waiting for a few errand officers to completely paste the yellow list, the yellow list has been polarized.

Li Qiao looked at the seven words in the first column, and the heart she was carrying finally fell back into her stomach.

Tianzi No. 18 Li Qiao

He stared at the seven words for a full ten seconds before reading the names of the others.

The names on the yellow list are divided into two parts.

The top six are next to each other, and the bottom thirty-four are next to each other.

He swept over the five names after his name, and then went to look at the remaining thirty-four names, and from beginning to end, he saw the names of Zhuang Wen Xu Ying Meng Yue.

Eighteenth place: Jinzi No. 13 Zhuang Wen

Twenty-nine: Yuzi No. 37 Xu Ying

Last place: Xuanzi No. 52 Meng Yue

Zhuang Wen belongs to the middle, and although Meng Yue and Xu Ying are behind, they are also hit.

Li Qiao turned her head to look at the people around her, Xu Ying squinted with a smile, and stared at Huang Bang with a stupid expression.

Meng Yue raised her hands and waved wildly in the air, her mouth wide open, but she couldn't say a word.

Zhuang Wen's eyes widened, his eyeballs were about to fall out, and he looked incredulous, and the whole person turned into a sculpture.

Even if a person can't get into the jinshi, he has the qualifications to be elected as an official, which is equivalent to entering the ruling class.

In the previous dynasties, even if he did not become an official, he would become a squire and a big landowner, and manage local affairs and the people together with the magistrate.

When it came to Dasheng, because the Emperor Taishang and the Holy Emperor did not like the group of squires, the influence of the people was not as good as before.

But in the end, he entered the ruling class, and his identity was fundamentally different from Xiucai.

Therefore, it is very normal for the three of them to be happy like this.

The significance of the middle move is too great, the ecstasy in the examination, the grief of the failure, and no one read Li Qiao's article for a while.

Li Qiao was so happy, he greeted Zhuang Wen Mengyue and Xu Ying, and turned around to find Tao Zhu.

He wants to share this joy with Tao Zhu, and he is lifted!

Tao Zhu was also very happy, although everyone knew that Li Qiao was going to fly, but the Tong Sheng test was nothing, only after the township test, then Li Qiao could be regarded as having his feet off the ground and really flying.

His man can withstand the pressure, not only in the lift, but also in the understanding yuan, super powerful!

"Where are we going to celebrate?" He took Li Qiao's hand and asked with a smile.

"Wait for Brother Wen and the others, they haven't reacted yet." Li Qian smiled and pointed at Zhuang Wen, Meng Yue, and Xu Ying.

The three were still in the crowd.

But the Zhuang family and the Xu family rushed over to share this great joy with them.

"Let's go buy some more things tomorrow and take them home so that the family can enjoy them." Li Qiao said to Tao Zhu again.

Before Tao Zhu could say anything, Li Ershan on the side smacked his tongue first: "Uncle, do you still buy it?" ”

This time, his uncle and Uncle Zhu spent nearly 3,000 taels of silver just to buy gifts for their families!

"This is a great event, of course, we have to make the family happy."

“…… Then it's good that you're happy. Li Ershan remembered what his eldest brother had said that if their uncle gave him, he would accept it directly, so he didn't persuade him again.

Li Chunsheng on the side originally wanted to persuade a few words, but seeing Li Qiao and Tao Zhu smiling happily, he swallowed his words back.

After the township test, Li Qiao is really going to the capital, and before leaving, Li Qiao wants to buy more gifts for his family.

They can't refuse this intention.

However, the capital is so far away, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu must not be allowed to drive the ox cart there, well, after going back, they have to discuss with the village chief, and select some strong men from the village to escort their husbands into Beijing.

Li Qian didn't know what Li Chunsheng was thinking, he and Tao Zhu held hands to discuss what else they needed to buy, and suddenly, a middle-aged man in a black power suit who looked like a practicing family stood in front of him.

The man saluted Li Qiao: "I have seen Master Li, the younger one is Lord Zhao's servant, surnamed Zhang Mingsan, Lord Zhao is waiting for you in the Tribute Courtyard at this time." ”

“……”

Zhao Youzhi wants to see him?

Li Qiao couldn't help but grab Tao Zhu's hand, but said with a smile on his face: "It turns out that the strong man belongs to Lord Zhao's family, then please lead the way." ”

After that, he turned his head and told Li Chunsheng, Li Ershan, and Li Xia to go back with the Zhuang family, and not to stay here and wait for them.

Li Chunsheng and Li Ershan Li Xia were both stunned, and just nodded stunned.

Seeing this, Li Qiao sighed in her heart, and then led Tao Zhu to keep up with Zhang San's pace.

Zhang San didn't seem to see Li Qiao and Tao Zhu's hands holding together, he led the two into the Tribute Courtyard, crossed the gate, and then crossed the Mingyuan Tower, and then walked towards the building complex to the south of the Tribute Courtyard.

Li Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't ask Lord Zhao just now if he was the only one who wanted to fool the past, he didn't want to leave Tao Zhu alone.

Looking at Zhang San's attitude, Lord Zhao should not mind him taking Tao Zhu.

In the Gongyuan, the houses are on the east and west sides, and the examiner lives in the building on the south side.

Zhao Youzhi, as the chief examiner, has been in the Gongyuan since the township test, and has not left until this time.

Tao Zhu's brain was blank, and he mechanically followed Li Qiao's steps forward.

He is a little brother, and he actually went to the Tribute Academy?

This is the battlefield of Li Qian half a month ago, and he actually stood here?

His brain was dizzy, his breathing was a little difficult, and he subconsciously followed Li Qiao in everything that followed.

Li Qian dragged him into the hall where Lord Zhao was, and he entered.
